OUTPUT TYPE

Gridded (analysis)

OVERVIEW

General information : The operational analysis system set up by the CORIOLIS data center produces temperature and salinity gridded fields by using profiles from the database. The system is based on an statistical estimation method (objective analysis). This system allows to: present a synthesis and a validation of the dataset, provide a support for localized experience (cruises), provide a validation source for operational models, observe seasonal cycle and interannaul variability. This system is exploited by the CORIOLIS data center in real time. Temperature and salinity fields are weekly processed and disseminated. It is also set up in delayed mode to produce re-analysis used for the qualification of the ARGO floats or climatological studies.
